DUNEDIN, Fla. — Former Great Lakes Loons outfielder Andrew Lambo is a non-roster invitee at the Pittsburgh Pirates camp this spring, but he is turning some heads.

Lambo was traded to the Pirates by the Los Angeles Dodgers, along with pitcher James McDonald, for reliever Octavio Dotel.

Although Lambo was one of the Dodgers' top prospects, he was traded after minor league baseball's drug policy and was suspended for 50 games in 2010.

According to Lambo, when he returned, his teammates and coaches gave him the "look" and were more suspicious around him.

Lambo played for the Loons in 2008, earning a spot on the Midwest League all-star team after hitting 15 homers and batting .288.

Manager Clint Hurdle has already com up with a nickname for the 6-foot-3, 210-pound Lambo. Hurdle calls him "The Lambino" in a play on words for Babe Ruth's nickname.
